The F5 BIG-IP appliance must generate traffic log entries containing information to establish the details of the event, including success or failure of the application of the firewall rule.

Description
Without establishing what type of event occurred, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack. Audit event content that may be necessary to satisfy this requirement includes, for example, time stamps, source and destination addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, filenames involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked. Associating event types with detected events in the network element logs provides a means of investigating an attack, recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds, or identifying an improperly configured network element. Satisfies: SRG-NET-000074-FW-000009, SRG-NET-000075-FW-000010, SRG-NET-000076-FW-000011, SRG-NET-000077-FW-000012, SRG-NET-000078-FW-000013, SRG-NET-000492-FW-000006, SRG-NET-000493-FW-000007, SRG-NET-000333-FW-000014

Who does this work

12 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-266256r1024869_chk)

From the BIG-IP GUI: 1. Security. 2. Event Logs. 3. Logging Profiles. 4. Edit the global-network profile. 5. Network Firewall tab. 6. Select a Log Publisher to use (for production environments, use Remote High Speed Logging). 7. Verify at least the "Accept", "Drop", and "Reject" Log Rule Matches boxes are checked, along with any other settings to be enabled. From the BIG-IP Console, type the following commands: tmsh list security log profile global-network Note: Verify the log-acl-match-accept, log-acl-match-drop, and log-acl-match-reject settings are enabled. If the BIG-IP is not configured to generate traffic log entries containing information to establish the details of the event, including success or failure of the application of the firewall rule, this is a finding.
